MT. PROSPECT, IL—March 11, 2014—In an effort to dramatically increase its digital printing productivity, eDOC Communications, based here, has acquired a new five-color Kodak NexPress SX3900 digital production color press. Adding this press to its current lineup of Kodak and Canon Océ digital printers, eDOC will realize between a 40 percent to 50 percent increase in productivity when compared to its previous digital technology lineup.

In addition, eDOC has added a Baum sheet feeder, enabling the NexPress to deliver a 14×36″ sheet—the only NexPress digital printer in the greater Chicago area with this capability.

“This acquisition is another important step in eDOC’s commitment to current digital/variable data technology with the 36″ sheet feeder providing us with a distinct advantage over our competition,” said Michael Frank, president of eDOC Communications. “By replacing our SX2100 with a second SX3900, our improved digital arsenal will result in dramatically higher productivity fire power, lower production cost to our clientele and significant quality improvements.”

About eDOC eDOC Communications, a commercial offset and digital sheetfed printer, was established in 1999 and is one of several Kodak beta sites in the United States. The company also maintains a full complement of six-color, 40″ Heidelberg offset presses, offline UV coating and comprehensive bindery services, including PUR/Perfect binding.
